I'm glad this thread is trending, but alongside it, there should be a discussion about why women who do complain of chest pain and are having actual heart attacks are systemically likely to be dismissed by medical providers as women having "anxiety": https://t.co/b8e08vuBuBhttps://t.co/TcqZdo8B1T

There's been a lot more coverage this year about medical providers (and not just male providers) ignoring serious pregnancy complications because women were dismissed as "hormonal" or "emotional" and unable to evaluate for themselves whether something was wrong.

This kind of dismissal affects women of color exponentially more. There's a study cited in Leslie Jamison's THE EMPATHY EXAMS (which I can't recommend enough, even though it's been out for a few years now) re: how medical professionals responded to reports of pain in patients.
